Tommy Town shows teammates Ron Toews and Jack Denbow his batting form.  Denbow, in the process of being walked intentionally, reached out to poke the game-winning hit as Brandon topped St. Lazare 5-4 with a run in the bottom of the 9th inning.  It was the Cloverleafs first win in the playoff series.  (Brandon Sun photo)
